Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 212 Memorable Scene! The Deceptive Kai'Sa
If the 2v3 in the bottom lane boosted RNG's morale and helped them turn defense into offense...

Letme's solo kill under the tower in the top lane directly boosted RNG's win rate by 10%.

As the old saying goes, "One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third."

Many aggressive players, especially those with exceptional talent who can dominate in ranked games, get really angry when they see the opponent pick a weak champion and just let them carry, and their desire to attack becomes several times stronger than before.

But there's a reason why Riot Games tolerates "troll" champions, allowing them to remain popular in the top lane and even giving rise to the title of the "Three Gods."

It consumes minimal resources yet fulfills a stable and functional role.

Map resources are limited, so in a team, some people will inevitably carry, some will slack off, and some will have to sacrifice.

The reason why SKT is able to dominate the LCK now is not only because of Hanzi's strength, but also because of the sacrifices made by mid laner Faker.

Everyone wants to carry the team and get the economy. There are countless examples of teams that underperformed in history, with OMG, the super team from Season 5, being the best example.

The economic and hidden advantages brought by these three kills allowed RNG to take off completely.

After pushing the lane, Kai'Sa in the bottom lane decided to recall.

The gold from the two kills and the fact that they barely missed any minions, which was converted into equipment, surprised even the commentators.
-
Spikes + Demon Codex

"This equipment has very strong combat attributes!"

"That's just how Xiaogou (a nickname for a player) is. Sometimes, he doesn't focus on building survival items to stay alive. Instead, he focuses on how to suppress the opponent. With this kind of build, Miss Fortune is going to have a hard time."

The director also cut to the screen at the right time to show the economic gap between the two sides.

1240 yuan!
The first blood was 400+ and the excavator was 300.

"The puppy, having just reached level 6, managed to out-farm bang700's economy solely through last-hitting, which is truly astonishing. This is no longer a matchup on the same level."

Longhair shook his head, indicating that the gap between the two sides was somewhat unacceptable.

Most commentators in Taiwan are amateurs and prefer to talk about player gossip, but Changmao is an exception. His excellent understanding of the game allows him to hold his own even among LPL commentators.

As he said, Bang only had enough money to make a pickaxe when he got home.

This is the normal equipment setup for a bottom lane ADC at this stage of the game.

Unfortunately, if the pickaxe were to be released, Miss Fortune would be so overwhelmed that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself.

After hesitating for a moment, Bang decided to buy a Doran's Blade and some boots.

The meaning behind this item build is all or nothing. It's already the last game of the finals, and the enemy Kai'Sa is so fed. If you're still thinking about building mid-to-late game items, you'll probably be forced to retire on the spot.

As it turns out, this build is indeed the optimal solution.

Doran's attributes perfectly allowed Bang to withstand the onslaught of AP Kai'Sa during this period. Although it's unknown how long this situation can last, judging from the current situation, it has finally stabilized.

Galio in the mid lane also went back to base and made lunchbox shoes, officially liberating the mid lane.

After pushing the lane, Galio disappeared from the lane, putting immense pressure on Skt's bot lane.

The resurrected excavator had only been wandering around the top lane for a short while when RNG immediately secured the first dragon.

Prince level 6, Excavator level 3.

RNG gradually took control of the rhythm.

Soon after Galio disappeared from the lane again, Faker habitually sent a warning signal to the bottom lane, but this time, the problem occurred in the top lane.

Galio and Jarvan IV appeared in the top lane and began diving the tower.

The upper troops attacked the plot, the second attacked the Jiaotong, the second attacked the soldiers, and the lower attacked the city.

RNG's move was a blatant and overt scheme.

After clearing the upper jungle, the Prince went to the lower jungle to fight the dragon. Since there was no jungle camp for the Rek'Sai, he could only farm in the lower half of the jungle.

At this moment, the prince went straight home and headed to the top lane to gank, catching Galio off guard.

Conversely, if the focus is on the bottom lane, the excavator is very likely to be there, which is not a safe bet.

Having the advantage means you can do whatever you want. The timing of the gank was perfect, catching Olaf right when he was fighting Maokai, giving Olaf no room to maneuver.

For RNG, killing Olaf is extremely difficult, but that doesn't mean Olaf is invincible.

Olaf, having activated his ultimate ability, roared and flashed towards the tower.

RNG's three players remained calm and composed. Jarvan IV and Galio followed the same strategy, circling behind the tower and waiting for Letme to push the lane into the tower.

Once inside the tower, the Prince used his ultimate to trap Olaf inside, and the three strong men used their crowd control, knock-up, and taunt abilities to beat him up.

The kill went to Xiangguo's Jarvan IV, and at the same time, the top lane tower was pushed down by three players, which Letme's Maokai soloed.

This rhythm completely caught Skt off guard.

Indeed, RNG likes to gank top lane when it's just the two substitutes from the second team playing, but that doesn't mean the two players from the first team won't gank top lane.

It's not a turn-based game where you have to stick to a fixed strategy. On the contrary, these fog bombs released by substitutes can often be surprisingly effective in this situation, making it hard to defend against.

The team's star player in the top lane got completely destroyed.

Faker in the mid lane is completely shut down, and the jungler, Rek'Sai, hasn't even reached level 6 yet.

Skt lost its rhythm.

Some LCK viewers who had traveled from afar, including South Korea, were equally stunned by the situation on the field, as if they couldn't believe that SKT could pull off such a performance.

In the minds of all Korean viewers, whenever Faker plays, there is an inexplicable feeling, like a pillar of strength. No matter how unfavorable the situation, as long as that man is still alive and not at a disadvantage, SKT has a chance.

The team that Hanzi Ge was in had a certain kind of drive.

What is the strength of a true man?
He can create an incredibly strong early game rhythm for his teammates, but once the game turns against him, he just starts to drift aimlessly.

In his previous life, Hanzi also joined SKT. At that time, SKT would become very strong once they gained an advantage in the early game.

However, if they fall behind, SKT with Hanzi on the team has virtually no chance of turning the tide.

Looking at the four games in which SKT was swept out by G2, Hanzi was SKT's only true god, leading SKT forward.

When Hanzi joined FPX in S10, he led his teammates to a nine-game losing streak, causing FPX to miss the World Championship.

Prince didn't build any defensive items this game. Instead, he bought Boots of Speed ​​and ran around the SKT jungle very fast. After his cooldowns were over, the mid and jungle ganked bot lane 4v2, taking down the two SKT bot laners and destroying the bot lane tower at the same time.

The top and bottom lane towers fell one after the other within just three minutes.

RNG also gained an economic advantage of up to 3500 gold in the early stages of the game.

The second dragon is about to spawn, and without the vision provided by the first tower, SKT is feeling uneasy looking at the dark jungle.

With just Jarvan IV and support Nautilus, RNG can easily secure this dragon.

"We can't take this team fight. None of us are equipped. Even if we land a perfect counter-attack, we won't deal any damage."

Wolf held down Tab and carefully observed the equipment gap, arriving at a conclusion that made all five SKT players uncomfortable.

Maokai, Galio, and Nautilus are just too tanky. Add to that Kai'Sa already having four kills and having solo-killed the bottom lane's first turret, and there's absolutely no chance of winning this team fight. At this rate, SKT will only suffer a slow, inevitable defeat.

"Faker, Bang, you two pretend to fight them for the dragon, but don't get caught out."

Wolf's ability to wield such influence within SKT is inseparable from his strategic thinking.

"Blank, let's gank Kai'Sa top lane together. Kill her, and we can take the Rift Herald. They'll be one less damage dealer."

Before the Baron Nashor spawns, if both sides are targeting the bottom lane dragon and your team doesn't want to take it, the best course of action is to call for help from the Rift.

Since its inception, the designers have been trying to increase the importance of Rift Herald.

Tapie's appearance also indirectly strengthened the Vanguard's voice.

However, this version of Rift Herald, while not as good as Dragon, is enough for SKT to stop their losses.

"Okay, there's a chance."

Xiao Hei, who had just reached level 6, nodded without any objection, clearly knowing that continuing like this would lead to a slow death.

The combination of Excavator, Olaf, and Leona makes it very difficult for the squishy Kai'Sa to escape if Leona can initiate the control first.

And
"This is too satisfying to farm like this," the guy laning against Kai'Sa said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that in the top lane, Kai'Sa actually crossed the minion wave and was recklessly rubbing against Olaf, without any concern that Olaf might suddenly attack and hurt her, it was as if she didn't treat the top laner like a human being.

All of this is because Kai'Sa has evolved her own W and E skills.

If Olaf's Q skill can't hit continuously, well, with Kai'Sa's current build of Berserker's Greaves, Nashor's Tooth, and Guinsoo's Rageblade components, Olaf really doesn't have the right to lane against her.

This kind of visual would feel very out of place on the S8.

It's strange that the designers had already strengthened the top and mid lanes' influence before the match, but they were still being pressured and killed by the bottom lane.

"SKT is trying to take down the puppy here!!"

Miller initially noticed that SKT seemed to be planning to engage in a team fight at the dragon pit, but then he saw Leona's furtive movements and exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems like the success rate here is very high. In order to take the dragon, Xiaoming's Nautilus followed Xiangguo's Jarvan IV, leaving only Uzi farming in the top lane. Moreover, RNG's vision is concentrated in the bottom jungle, leaving the top lane with an awkward gap in vision. Uzi clearly didn't realize the movements of Leona and Rek'Sai."

The doll spoke anxiously, which made the hearts of the audience jump into the air.

When the woman and the excavator appeared behind him that day, Li Luo was also startled.

Although SKT couldn't Zed in this team fight, there was still a possibility that Rek'Sai could steal the dragon. But unexpectedly, SKT made the decision to abandon the dragon and come to gank him.

Both the Leona and the Excavator have control skills. Once the Leona enters a phase where her skills become monotonous, there is no room for maneuver.

"I have no choice but to try." Li Luo quickly sketched out an escape route in his mind and began to concentrate.

The next moment, all the viewers who were holding their breath for Kai'Sa were surprised to find that Kai'Sa, who was in dire straits, did not give up, but instead fought back against death.

Kai'Sa actually walked straight towards the Dragon Pit!
Just when they thought that Kai'Sa was giving up and stalling for time, preparing to leave the three of them to wander around in the jungle, Leona made her move!
A solar flare descended straight down from the sky. Despite being anticipated, it was too far away to hit the center, only slowing Kai'Sa down.

Wolf didn't pay attention to the details; his original intention was to slow down Kai'Sa.

Once she reached the maximum distance, Leona didn't hesitate at all, immediately flashing and using her E to hook Kai'Sa who was fleeing in front of her.

"This is a dead end. Once they get on you, even if the puppy has Flash, he won't be able to escape."

"It's a pity," the doll said regretfully.

"The puppy probably just wanted to stall for time so his teammates could secure the dragon. Most importantly, by the time RNG finishes taking the dragon, they can easily come up and defend the Rift Herald."

"This is indeed the best decision for the current situation. The puppy is no longer the reckless puppy it used to be!"

Seeing that the Leona had caught up, the commentator gave up hope that Kai'Sa could still survive and began to change the subject, talking about the current situation.

Xiao Hei knew he couldn't let Kai'Sa stall for time, so he decisively dug a hole to get there, flashed to knock up Kai'Sa, and the two of them gave her a good beating.

As Olaf ran over from behind, Li Luo finally unleashed his E skill, which he had been holding back for a long time, the moment the three of them focused their fire.

The brief invisibility not only allowed Li Luo to distance himself from the three behind him, but also preserved half of his health for maneuver.

300 yards!
200 yards!
They were getting closer and closer to the explosive cone above the dragon, but the pursuers behind them were still relentless.

A green light flashed, and the brief increase in movement speed allowed Li Luo to create some distance between himself and the three others.

Olaf, seeing that this wouldn't work, also flashed and threw his axe to hold the enemy in place.

But the moment the fruit was thrown, the three of them were on top of the Blast Fruit. Kai'Sa, who was still running away, flicked her hand, and two of them jumped down into the Dragon Pit, leaving only the red-faced Olaf still charging forward.

Olaf's ultimate ability grants immunity to all crowd control abilities, including the knockback effect of the Blast Fruit. Given Hanzi's reaction time, it's impossible for an elderly person to be in such a state.

The excavator that had been knocked down below roared and charged back up using its ultimate ability.

Unfortunately, just as the excavator rushed up, Kai'Sa used her ultimate ability to fly to Leona below the dragon pit.

Apparition!

There was only one Leona in the dragon pit. Kai'Sa unleashed all her furious damage, and in just two seconds, the fragile Leona fell in the dragon pit.

Meanwhile, the two pursuers had already blocked the Dragon Pit.

But Kai'Sa wasn't about to give up easily; she used Flash to get back into the dragon pit.

Olaf and the excavator, who were chasing Kai'Sa from behind, were stunned.

The next instant, the skill that lit up made the excavator dash into the dragon pit without thinking and continue the chase.

However, Xiaohai completely failed to consider his own output. A Rek'Sai without an ultimate skill or knock-up ability doesn't have much higher output than Leona.

Double kill!
SKT's jungler and support both died again, and Kai'Sa got a double kill!

"Wow????"

Countless spectators gasped in surprise! Was this an escape? Or a chase?
They completely pushed the terrain and skill mechanics to their limits, as if they were treating SKT's jungle as their own backyard.

The three commentators were stunned from the moment Kai'Sa knocked the two away and then drove down to kill Leona.

They only came to their senses then, looking at each other blankly, not quite able to react for a moment.

"This? Is this Kaisa's art??"

"Oh my God!"

The scene in Paris was practically exploding; everyone who saw this felt a bit oxygen-deprived!
That was amazing! That was so exciting!
A pinnacle AD play! This tricky Kai'Sa made all AD players' blood boil, wishing they could immediately start playing a game with Kai'Sa, but also reluctant to miss such a wonderful match!

A true feast!
The audience at the scene felt it even more intensely; everyone was completely stunned!
"I've seen Kai'Sa before, but I've never seen a Kai'Sa like this before. She's taking on three opponents at once and treating Olaf like a dog. This is just too outrageous!"

"Wow, this tricky Kai'Sa play is definitely going to be a legendary moment in League of Legends!"

"The most luxurious backdrop ever! Khan, Wolf, Blank! My God!"

It's ridiculous that LGD didn't even win. I was completely baffled by this match. I even suspect that these guys are fixing the game to fleece the fans!
